118. Canada does this
But you're unlikely to see this in the U.S. It would also go against policy towards digital media that has informally been in place since the 1984 SCOTUS ruling allowing for VCRs to be used for taping movies and TV shows: technology with infringing uses can also have major non-infringing uses, and should be treated as such based on an "innocent until proven guilty" assumption. There are people who used blank CD-RW's to record their own data, and they might not give a shit about music.
